I feel like only us Nintendo fans should have a say in this poll as too many Xbox/PS fans are going to just vote for their preferred device based on brand loyalty.
I gave Sony's show a 6/10 and MS's a 8/10. Halo Infinite was a hardcore bust, but the rest of their launch lineup looks fantastic compared to Sony's, especially considering I can try most of them out and keep/stop playing whenever I want with no financial regrets due to GamePass.
Regardless, I'll still primarily game on the Switch.

As someone who doesn't know the meaning of brand loyalty, but rather plays on my own terms and not those of a particular institution, I've gotta disagree with the suggestion here that only Nintendo fans who are so dogged that they'd never buy anything other than Nintendo systems are qualified to evaluate whether the PlayStation 5 or Series X has more merit with credulity. I mean in proclaiming my intention to prioritize the Series X this fall both here and elsewhere of late, clearly I haven't displayed much loyalty to the PlayStation brand here despite my clear preference for it overall here in the current console generation. That's because I have a brain and know what I like.
Just because I love lots of games published by Sony over the last decade -- games like Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, The Last of Us, The Last of Us Part II, Uncharted 4, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, The Last Guardian, this gen's God of War, Death Stranding, and I guess Ghost of Tsushima on balance -- doesn't mean I seriously want to play the next Ratchet and Clank or superhero game or Gran Turismo or even Horizon Forbidden West over say Everwild, Psychonauts 2, The Medium, Call of the Sea, or As Dusk Falls, for example (not counting smaller games), just for the sake of brand loyalty. I'm loyal to myself first. I can evaluate fairly based on my own personal metrics. At present it looks like the Series X will have more games that are, well, me. I think that's a fair enough way to evaluate.

For Series X
Lake The Big Con The Artful Escape As Dusk Falls Everwild State of Decay 3 Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Psychonauts 2 The Medium Sable Song of Iron Exo One Last Stop
For PlayStation 5
Stray Solar Ash Goodbye Volcano High Ghostwire: Tokyo Jett: The Far Shore Kena: Bridge of Spirits Oddworld: Soulstorm Destruction AllStars Deathloop Returnal Horizon Forbidden West
(Titles above listed in order of personal interest.)
I'm also interested in Call of the Sea and Bright Memory Infinite, both of which will also be available for the Series X. Call of the Sea won't make it to the PS5 readily, it appears, and is slated for release this year.
To take what's bound to be the unpopular position, I liked the Series X offerings best. Only the top four games I just listed for the PS5 are must-owns to me. Everything else falls below all of the games I've mentioned interest in for the Series X so far. Also, none of those four games are slated for release this year or will likely come out within the next year's time for that matter. Cumulatively, this makes the Series X of much greater interest to me right now than the PlayStation 5. The PS5 line-up honestly just has a more straightforward, commercial feel to it overall. The Series X line-up looks more creative and I'm very much looking for legitimately new experiences in this medium right now. (And yes, I want to play as womanz just in general because I am one, sorry. Selfish, I know.) I know, I know, my tastes are weird. But you asked!

Not to be a knob but I really couldnt play games with you. That is legit a list that I think could potentially put me off gaming.
Good on you though. Goes to show how different peoples tastes are.

Haha, I understand, dude! It takes all kinds! Even me. Thanks for the appreciation.

I get the wanting to play as a woman thing. I generally prefer to play as a male, but it's not that big of a deal either way. My favorite game this gen is Horizon:Zero Dawn after all.

LOL!!
Well, on the womanz thing, you also didn't grow up rarely having the option to use a character at least of your own sex in tha games and feeling very awkward. I was largely without and as such appreciate today's range of more female-centric titles. Much.
(Hell, I still feel kind of awkward in gaming circles often. Seriously, look at people's profiles here for instance. I'm like the only woman here who still posts! Ya think that's totally comfortable or makes me feel normal for being here? It's nobody's fault really, it's just the way things are, but still.)
ANYWAYS, the range of those options is just one factor and not my only reason for leaning toward the Series X.
